Coaching, Leadership Development
Launch is a new initiative focused on planting (launching) youth ministries in churches that have no weekly youth ministry. Launch was developed through a partnership between Lead the Generation and Better Student Ministry Resources of New York Youth Ministries.
Check out this video about the vision of Launch.
Launch is comprised of three components:
1. Community
We bring together a group of leaders for support and encouragement.
2. Content
We provide online access to our leadership development training videos.
3. Coaching
We facilitate monthly coaching with the cohort and one-on-one.
Launch is a one-year process of coaching and leadership development.
The challenge of discipleship is only met through biblical truth taught through relationships.
When a Godly adult builds a relationship with a student the opportunity is created for discipleship to take place. Youth Ministry happens best and in it’s most healthy form when a relational bridge is built that can bear the weight of truth.
Over 50% of churches in America have no youth ministry.
Without local church youth ministry, we lose a generation!
How do we launch local church youth ministries?Through the development of adult leaders who can serve as volunteer Youth Pastors.
Step One: A cohort of volunteer leaders from a ministry network is formed with the help of local church pastors, youth ministry leaders, denominational leadership, etc…
Step Two: A date is set for the cohort to begin the Launch process. We recommend the August or September timeframe for a new cohort to start meeting.
Step Three: Each month the cohort will meet with their coach through a zoom call. Each call will allow for a discussion(s) of the video(s) they have been assigned for that month. The coach will work to develop them as leaders and prepare them to launch and lead a youth ministry in their local church.
Step Four: Each month one-on-one coaching will take place from coaches selected by the local ministry network. These coaches will focus on youth ministry pragmatics.

There is not cost to access the training videos. A Lead the Generation coach can assist in coaching a cohort of leaders. We do not have a set fee for this coaching service, but ask that a coach be provided a generous gift to honor their time commitment.
